my longtime friend, Jasper

[Ophiuchus]

This is Jasper. He was my first pet snake, after much begging to my parents. I got him in early 1993 when he was already pretty much fullgrown. Jasper is still with me today, so I estimate him to be at least 17 yrs old, and possibly older. I plan to have him til the day he dies.

Wow he's beautiful!!

You see a lot of baby and juvie snakes on this forum so it's nice to see people who have kept their snakes for a very long time. Congrats and here's to many more years of snake-keeping

Hi Michael! Jasper is a nice looking boy! I love to see people show off snakes they have had for a long time! Thanks for caring! Too many people seem to think these guys are throw away pets.

BTW.......Thats some great looking work on your website!

Is that him wrapped around your finger in the second pic? Looks really small.
